Crushing Block Game Mechanic in Unity – Thwomp or Hydraulic Press

Group Unity Project: https://www.infogamerhub.com/collaborative-unity-project-1/

In this lesson, I will show you how to create a Crushing Block prefab and game mechanic in Unity similar to the Thwomps from Mario or a Hydraulic Press. We created this game mechanic for our group Unity project and this prefab is included in our level builder unity package.

To create this crushing block prefab we will first design the prefab in Unity. We can then animate this object so that it has a crush, reset, and wait time animation. We will then create a script for this object that will allow you to increase the wait time animation time in the inspector. We will then create another script that will be for the objects that get crushed.

Ball Roll Mechanic with Add Force in Unity

In this video, We talk more about our marble game group Unity project. I explain that I will be updating this Unity project on a weekly basis. I hope that you will join this group project and help us create levels in Unity for this game.

Project Page: https://www.infogamerhub.com/collaborative-unity-project-1/

We will also show you how to create a ball roll mechanic in Unity. We are using a ball roll mechanic for this group Unity project. Ball rolling is a very popular game mechanic found in many video games. If you haven’t learned how to make a ball roll in Unity then this is the video for you as I show you how to create a basic but effective ball prefab that you can use in any of your unity projects.
